The regiment proceeded from Walmer to Portsmouth on the 27th April, 1846. Previous to the march of the THIRTEENTH, a high testimonial of their conduct, while stationed at Walmer, was received from the Mayor and Magistrates of Deal. On Thursday, the 13th August, the THIRTEENTH had the gratification of being presented with new colours by His Royal Highness the Prince Albert. The “_United Service Gazette_” of Saturday, the 15th August, gave the following account of this interesting ceremony, which took place on Southsea Common:--‘His Royal Highness Prince Albert, wearing a Field Marshal’s uniform, came over from Osborne-house in the royal yacht, accompanied by Colonel Wylde and a small retinue, all in uniform, and landed at the King’s-stairs, in the Dockyard, at about a quarter to four o’clock. The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., the Lieut.-Governor, Major-General the Hon.

G. R. Gleig, Chaplain General to the Forces, consecrated the colours, which, after this ceremony, were handed to the Prince by Lieut.-Colonel C. T. Van Straubenzee and Major Meredith. The Prince then handed them to the two senior ensigns (J. D. Longden and Melville Browne), who received them kneeling, and continued in that position whilst His Royal Highness addressed them in a brief but most spirited and soldierly manner, enjoining them to preserve their colours, never to allow them to be captured, but to emulate the conduct exhibited by the departed hero, Sir Robert Sale, whose absence was the only alloy to the gratification he felt in performing the august ceremony of the day. His Highness, in the course of his address, passed some high and well-deserved encomiums on Colonel Squire and the THIRTEENTH regiment, to which that gallant veteran replied--“I beg most respectfully to return my most
